Additional magnitudes for 2006ke in UGC 3365:  Oct. 13.52 UT, [19.0;
20.49, 18.3.  SN 2006ke appears to be a subluminous type-Ia
supernova around maximum light (details on CBET 684).  Additional
magnitudes for 2006kf in UGC 2829:  Sept. 26.53, [18.8; Oct. 23.45,
17.6.  SN 2006kf is a type-Ia supernova before maximum B brightness
(details on CBET 691).  SN 2006ld in UGC 348 is a type-Ib supernova
some 1-2 weeks past maximum (details on CBET 689); nothing was
visible at the location of 2006ld on a NEAT image taken on Sept. 20
(limiting mag approximately 20.0).
